Beijing Vikings' history
1996-2003: Entering IFFC, promotion and Summer CL winners
The Beijing Vikings was established in 1996 by Danish expatriate Kim and has since worked as a common battleground for Vikings - Danes, Finns, Norwegians and an occasional Swede - in Beijing. In addition, the Vikings have had a strong base of Chinese nationals that have been part of the team since the very beginning.
Beijing Vikings 2002
In 2002 Beijing Vikings, at that time headed coach Markku C., joined the International Friendship Football Club's (IFFC) 11-aside league in 3rd Division. The Vikings ended this debut season in 3rd spot, and after secu-ring promotion to 2nd Division, successful coach Markku handed over re-sponsibilities to Michael Jorgensen.
In the summer of 2003 Beijing Vikings enjoyed their biggest triumph to date going all the way in the Summer Champions League. After defeating a number of strong foreign and Chinese teams the Vikings had to go through a penalty shootout against final opponents Hengdong before the team headed by new coach Michael could lift the cup.
